Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an acute, major, life-threatening complication of diabetes that mainly occurs in patients with type 1 diabetes, but it is not uncommon in some patients with type 2 diabetes. This condition is a complex disordered metabolic state characterized by hyperglycemia, ketoacidosis, and ketonuria.

Signs and Symptoms:

The most common early symptoms of DKA are the insidious increase in polydipsia and polyuria. The following are other signs and symptoms of DKA:

1. Malaise, generalized weakness, and fatigability.
2. Nausea and vomiting; may be associated with diffuse abdominal pain, decreased appetite, and anorexia.
3. Rapid weight loss in patients newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
4. History of failure to comply with insulin therapy or missed insulin injections due to vomiting or psychological reasons.
5. Decreased perspiration.
6. Altered consciousness (eg, mild disorientation, confusion); frank coma is uncommon but may occur when the condition is neglected or with severe dehydration/acidosis.

Diagnosis:

On examination, general findings of DKA may include the following:

Ill appearance
Dry skin
Labored respiration
Dry mucous membranes
Decreased skin turgor
Decreased reflexes
Characteristic acetone (ketotic) breath odor
Tachycardia
Hypotension
Tachypnea
Hypothermia

Laboratory Tests:

Amylase levels
Urine dipstick
Ketone levels
Serum or capillary beta-hydroxybutyrate levels
ABG measurements
Bicarbonate levels

Management:

Treatment of ketoacidosis should aim for the following:
